Normal forests are fine, but the skyscraper tree extremely dense forest maps one sometimes sees (mostly in the Alpine provinces, maybe Germany and Gaul - it's been a while since I've played in that part of the world) are terrible. Unless you manage to fight in a clearing you have to fight the battle maximally zoomed in. If I wanted to play like that I'd set the general camera restriction... I'd try to avoid such forests even with a forest-friendly faction or unit mix - just too obnoxious to try to command units on such a map.
